As a result, we see more students and industry professionals turning to online learning platforms like edX.org," commented Leon Katsnelson, CTO and director of the IBM Skills Network, in a statement. "We are delighted to partner with edX to offer IBM courses, hands-on labs and Professional Certificate programs to the edX community to develop and practice skills in these fast moving technologies."
